This would be my preference. I still think we're going to need a new
display type to go along with this feature, since I think elements
that aren't intended for display at their declaration point would
benefit from such a display type. It would hide you at the
declaration point, probably have shrink-to-fit behavior (without being
constrained by containing block width), and probably also ignore clip/
opacity/etc. that might be in effect on ancestor elements.
